It eliminates dampness from the body, relieves arthritis and rheumatism, has diuretic properties, and is a nutritious food that is beneficial to both men and women, young and old alike.

1. Wash the brown rice and Job’s Tears in a couple of changes of water until the water runs clear and drain. Combine all the ingredients in a non-aluminum pot and soak overnight.

Use 4 tablespoons of wild rice and 150 g (¾ cup) of brown rice for a richer taste and extra nutritional benefit. Chicken broth may be used instead of water to soak and cook the congee; in this case, soak the herb and grain in the refrigerator to keep the broth fresh.
